Overview

Clothing the Loop is a collision of fashion, art, design and activism presented by local change makers, Australian Dance Party and Kelli Donovan, to inspire circular textiles and fashion economies in the ACT community.

The day-night festival features sewing and textile art workshops, panel discussions, a giant clothes swap, a local designer fashion parade and performances addressing the growing fast fashion and waste crisis.

Special guest speakers include Senator. David Pocock, Ainsley Simpson (CEO Seamless), Nina Gbor (EcoStyles) and Vanessa Vansgouthi (Samsara Eco).

Come along and inspire your head, hands and heart to move to circular and conscious fashion choices.
